Model No. 1

The passport-type photographs that I use for the works of the Puzzles Series, I have taken of emigrants who flee their countries because their lives are in danger, they often tell me their stories and many of them are heartbreaking.


It is possible that most of them will be accepted as refugees indefinitely, others only temporarily and the most unfortunate will be deported to their countries of origin.


I use different techniques of facial disorientation, especially for children who experience these tragedies. I intend to convey the feelings of these people, their anguish and the psychological conflict caused by the insecurity of the future of their lives and that of their loved ones.

Passport. 2018.


​Each work contains multiple images that mix and grow in different directions related to family, friends and new acquaintances.

Identity Mutations. 2020.


It is related to the adaptation of individuals who are forced to migrate and who end up in territories with a different culture. The unconscious conflict between the ingrained and the new customs or social demands of their new environment is slow, silent, but inevitable.

Identity Mutations Nº 5

Anonymous. 2020.


Today the anguish and insecurity is much greater for people who are in legal limbo caught in the process of their application for asylum or refuge, while this new invisible enemy extends to the life of humans, anywhere and at any time.

Introspection. 2021.


Three-dimensional geometric figures inspired by the shape of the cube and only a part of it can be seen, the rest is embedded in the plane of the floor, the wall or both. They have a visual entrance that illusorily communicates us inward, product of the reflections of the mirrors and the light inside.


​These cubes covered with photographic images try to represent the psychological situation of the emigrants during their legal process. You can't tell if the cube is sinking, stabilizing, or rising. It depends on the weight you carry inside you and the gravity of space, where you are.

Identity Bank_nº9.jpg

Identity Bank. 2022.

Are we protected against misuse of our biometric data?
Do we know the risk of invasion of our privacy and violation of fundamental rights with these new technologies?Are we protected against misuse of our biometric data?
Keep in mind that Artificial Intelligence and its evolution from the basis of its priorities should not be controlled by irresponsible people or governments.

Identity Bank Nº 9

Mental Maps. 2022.

It is an alert to rethink identities, tolerance and feeling in the skin of the other as a central idea of humanity.

Mental Maps Nº 3

Packing (2023) and Networks (2025)

 

Is a call for attention to desperate and vulnerable people who want to flee from their dictatorial governments, extreme poverty or armed conflicts today.

 

They are susceptible to falling into the traps of international human trafficking mafias (including the sexual slavery of children under the age of ten and the sale of their organs).

encryptionS / sOs / migrantS  (2025)

 

The works "encryptionS / sOs / migrantS" are necessarily created by the current drastic policies against migrants, regardless of their immigration status.

A significant setback in policies that uphold family values, violating human rights and the sense humanity, including the U.S. Constitution.
